Topic: Media on mobile devices (Read 1556 times)

So Possy and I had an interesting but brief conversation relating to, in a round about way, media on mobile devices.

The facts are this.

1) Bringing media from linuxmce to android is not a small task *Need to engineer a media streamer (so your device could actually watch the blu-ray rips) *A whole host of linuxmce plumbing to deal with the 'floating' entertain area.

2)Its still really a concept. While I have proof of concept applications, that let me do this, way to much in the way of smoke and mirrors is used to make it function

So really im asking, is it worth holding up the rest of android development for this feature, or would we rather have a fully working orbiter sans md-ish features.

Linuxmce - Where everyone is never wrong, but we are always behind xbmc in the media / ui department.

For the first version of this, I think we can hold off on trying to do media playback features. For Android and other portable devices, I'm with possy, it's mostly a push feature, and exposing the data over UPnP may be the best way to go for a 1.0
